Just got home from the Western Demons function. More than 300 supporters there, coaches & players mingled & involved the kids. Each table had a player for a while & then they rotated. Beamer was at our table first, just a great guy, then Joel Macdonald (ditto), then Bailey who was fabulous. Was great to hear him talk about coaching from the bench, the new training centre. Then he did a general question session, spoke v. highly of Jack Watts as an engaging guy, though v. competitive. Jack was quite a star tonight, a real personality, great w. the little kids. (He has a cut over one eye from training). This team is something to be proud of!

    Just wondering if Kyle Cheney made the trip as the emergency player.

    Maric had the role last week and you wouldn't think he'd have it two weeks in a row. Yo

    I wouldn't take Warnock as an emergency so my guess is Cheney.

    Forgot to say that Bailey said we had a chance tomorrow because we have a couple of "elite athletes" (Bail & Watts, I think) who will be able to catch out some underdone Dockers, brought back too soon. Will coach from the bench again because, even though he sacrifices the overview of the play, he feels he needs to speak one on one with the kids. If they've mucked up he'll more often than not offer encouragement.

    Warnock & Maric both played for Casey today.

    Yes, it was a great night. The players were happy to mingle and do autographs etc. One guy paid $1900 to sit on the coaching bench next to Chris Connolly for the Freo game. A keen Demon supporter and very rich no doubt. They tried to auction Ron Barassi's jumper but it was passed in at $ 1000. Shane Woewoden was there with his young son ( In Demons colours). Father /Son rule one day? Woey's jumper was passed in at auction at $850. A few of the players I spoke to reckoned that a win over Freo was on the cards. Guess we will have to wait and see. Bailey spoke forcefully and succinctly about our future hinting that our appearance near the top was getting closer and closer. Said it was a great honour to be associated with a great club like Melbourne. He didn't really answer the question about Junior playing next year but said that he was a terrific leader at the club. He also implied that Gold Coast would have to battle hard to pinch any of our players. Also that other clubs were going to make things difficult for the fledgling side. The way he spoke made one realise how he got the coaching job over others. BTW the Western Demons award for our best player V the Weagles was won by Mr Moloney. Gee, he looked as tough as a mallee bull. Ken Melville and Trevor Johnson from the mighty '50's were there.

    Bump.....

    Do the Western Demons still meet at The Paddington in Mount Hawthorn on game day? I'm moving to the area soon and noticed they sponsor the Western Demons.

    Much love,

    Ethan Tremblay,

    That's some "bump' Ethan.

    I think it would register on the Richter scale!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
